My Comment:  This is persecution of women at the least, and it’s right here in our own country.  Think that Sharia Law is not here?  Think again.

Immigration officials are investigating a report of human trafficking at a home owned by Saudi Arabia in northern Virginia.

Two women were rescued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and spokesman Brandon Montgomery said the women – who are from the Philippines – were possible victims of domestic servitude.

One woman reportedly tried to flee by squeezing through a gap in the front gate as it was closing.

This house in McLean owned by the government of Saudi Arabia, was investigated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) officials on a report of human trafficking

An ICE official says agents went to the home in McLean on Tuesday night and removed the two possible victims of domestic servitude

It is not yet clear if the women alerted authorities or if someone else called it in.

Fairfax County police were called in to help.

‘Homeland Security Investigations DC did encounter two potential victims of trafficking and the investigation is ongoing,’ a D.C.-based spokesman for ICE/Homeland Security investigations told NBCNews4.

According to real estate records, the home is owned by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Armed Forces Office.

A representative of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday.

If ICE officials determine a crime has been committed a possibility exists that no charges will be filed due to diplomatic immunity.
